Prof. Vladimiro Mujica has got a Mercator Fellowship within the DFG proposal Theoretical Studies of Chirality-Induced Spin Selectivity, running until December 2023. He has been strongly involved in theoretical and experimental studies related to the CISS effect and, in particular, as part of his visits to the chair Materials Science and Nanotechnology, he has contributed to several publications related to the CISS effect addressing the role of electronic exchange interactions, chirality-dependent corrections to London dispersion interactions, and decoherence processes.
Prof. Mujica was a guest at the Chair of Materials Science and Nanotechnology (Prof. G. Cuniberti). The intention of the visit was to deepen existing collaborations, especially in the field of spin transport in helical molecules, and to complete work already commenced on three joint publications.
Vladimiro Mujica has been a professor at the School of Molecular Sciences at Arizona State University since 2009, and is considered one of the leading scientists worldwide in molecular electronics. In recent years, he has already spent extended research periods at Northwestern University in Chicago, in São Paulo, Brazil, and San Sebastián in Spain.
After studying in his home country of Venezuela, he received his doctorate in quantum chemistry in Uppsala, Sweden, in 1985. He then worked as a postdoc in Tel Aviv, Israel.
